No he won't Bennett is a little bitch, Marchand 2.0. When he "fights" he jumps guys before they can drop their gloves. He's a dirty player he's not tough

You cannot not be tough and keep doing what you are doing because you know eventually somebody will be looking to hand you your lunch IMO.

He's a tough dude but he's not some Mike Tyson on skates that's an automatic L for Knies. I think it would look good on the kid if he scrapped Bennett.

Better Knies fights some light weights before fighting a Bennett. Last thing we need is to see a kid like Knies get knocked out. I got no problem letting Reaves handle it and send a message to the Panthers and Bruins.

Why is it necessary to be 'rabid' to be considered a fan?
We pay $8500 to sit in the 2nd last row of the upper bowl, are we not fans?

IMO, anyone that's there comes to see the game.

Maybe the fans that are are on a road trip party on a Saturday night to see their only game of the season shouldn't be the benchmark :huh:

Seems like the reasonable thought. Some have a really weird view of it all, IMO.

I lived and worked in Buffalo for years, unless they stopped in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side not sure where the party would have been anywhere near the arena.

The most exciting thing close to the Key Bank is the Peace Bridge, lol.
 
Decided to go to the game tonight. Don't usually go to games M-W given the crowd. But I think tonight should be good. Hoping the Leafs can send a msg that they won't be pushed around. Too bad Edmundson isn't playing.

When you look at all the marquee injuries you would think the Leafs have no chance. But the lineup still looks decent.

The game is still important. It's a preview of a potential 1st round match. Both teams will bring it.

A win is still important too. Tampa is right behind us gunning for a 3rd place finish.

Biggest game of the year to date.

I know they have developed the waterfront district but is anyone really heading off to party in Buffalo? Again I lived and worked there.

Yes, plenty of spots for food and drink pre-game.

Remembering Maple Leafs Tough Guy Jim Dorey

In the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs there have been many tough players. One of them was Jim Dorey. What's his history with the team?

Really hoping to see some bite from our boys tonight. Even if we do not face the Panthers at any point this post season, they really are the benchmark for how we have to play.

They are going to drag this game into the mud, and we have to not just be OK with that, but also welcome it. I want to see our group be the aggressor in this game. If any Panther gets too close to Sammy after the whistle, make them pay.

This game needs to be played in the trenches. Let them know we aren't going to get bullied for 7 straight games if we were to meet them in 3 weeks time.

I try not to put too much stock into regular season games. Especially this late in the season where the standings are virtually set. I just think this game has to mean something more. Playoff mentality needs to start tonight.

I think we will see the Leafs be more physical than Florida tonight, for whatever that is worth (and I think it's debatable at this stage of the season). I think the Leafs will sweep both Florida games this week to make things interesting in the standings, but then probably fall short by the end of the season and finish in third.
